KB32096: "The procedure entry point ?parse@AbstractDOMParser@xerces_2_7@@QAEXQBG@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library xerces-c_2_7.dll" error occurs when creating a new metadata using MicroStrategy Configuration Wizard 9.x

SYMPTOM:
The following error message is received when attempting to create a new metadata using the Strategy Configuration Wizard 9.x, after the database username and password have been provided:

MSTRSvr.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point ?parse@AbstractDOMParser@xerces_2_7@@QAEXQBG@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library xerces-c_2_7.dll

 
This dll conflict might occur if other third party software is installed on the machine.
 
ACTION:
There are three possible actions to resolve this issue:

• Uninstall the third party software from the machine
• Install Strategy 9.x on a different machine

While it is possible to modify the PATH environment variable to move the Strategy version of the DLL up in the path search list, this may cause problems with the 3rd party DLL; thus this method is not suggested.
